    Flow diagram of the study design. A comprehensive overview of the study workflow, illustrating the integration of bioinformatics analysis, experimental validation, and therapeutic exploration to investigate the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Gene expression datasets ( GSE30529 , GSE47184 , GSE175759 , and GSE142025 ) were analyzed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and key modules associated with DKD progression using weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA). KEGG pathway enrichment analysis highlighted significant signaling pathways, and machine-learning approaches (LASSO, SVM, and RF) identified <t>CXCL6</t> as the hub gene. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data further localized CXCL6 expression to proximal tubular epithelial cells in the kidney. Experimental validation was conducted using renal tissues from DKD patients and mice, as well as in vitro studies with HG-stimulated HK-2 cells and THP-1 macrophages to confirm CXCL6’s role in macrophage recruitment and inflammatory cytokine release. Virtual screening and molecular docking identified salvianolic acid B as a CXCL6-targeting inhibitor, which was shown to mitigate inflammation and macrophage migration in in vitro studies. This integrative approach bridges bioinformatics and experimental data, highlighting CXCL6’s role in DKD and its therapeutic potential.
